Naperville’s Pulse in Springfield – A new beginning for the 41st District

February 4, 2015

Recently, I was bestowed an incredible honor by the people of the 41st House District. On Wednesday, January 15, 2015, I was officially sworn in as a new member of the 99th Illinois General Assembly at the traditional inaugural ceremony that was held at the University of Illinois Springfield campus.

For starters, I’d like to thank my predecessor, retired Rep. Darlene Senger. Senger’s commitment and service to our community continues as a foothold for me as I head down to Springfield to work alongside my new colleagues. Thank you again for everything you have done, Representative Senger. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

As a former Councilman in the City of Naperville, I am not new to the legislative practice and I plan to champion many of the same fiscal concepts in Springfield that proved to be quite successful during my service on the Naperville City Council.

I’m excited and very thankful to join the Illinois House of Representatives, but I’d like to reflect on my service as a councilman under the leadership of Mayor George Pradel. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for the Mayor and his selfless commitment to the Naperville community. Thank you, Mayor Pradel!
